St Pat’s Family Center is closing it’s doors. An interim group of volunteers tasked with fundraising for the center made the decision yesterday morning when it became clear there would not be enough money to pay the staff moving forward. The priority right now is finding daycare spaces for displaced families and trying to assist staff as best they can. The center will look at leasing out parking spaces to begin generating revenue while a team is assembled to properly investigate the matter. Spokesperson Brock Gallant says “This isn’t the end of the road, just a bump. We are committed to saving this historic institution. Our neighborhood needs St. Pat’s more than ever and we won’t stop trying to find ways to get the doors opened again.”
